Integrating approaches & best practices
Just a heads-up—this section is still a work in progress! I’ll be revising and expanding it soon to make sure it’s as useful as possible. Curious about what’s already done or currently in the works? Check the changelog for updates.
As we've touched upon, different regions or specific project needs might emphasize different calibration techniques — for instance, the "UK style" with its focus on extensive pressure logging versus the "US style" often highlighting fire flow tests.
This section emphasizes that these approaches aren't mutually exclusive; in fact, they can be highly complementary components of a truly comprehensive and robust calibration strategy. Imagine using detailed pressure logger data to achieve an excellent baseline calibration of your model's diurnal patterns and the performance of your system controls like PRVs and pumps. Then, you could use targeted fire flow tests to specifically validate the model's performance and capacity under critical, high-flow conditions, giving you confidence across a wider range of operational scenarios.
